AFL round 14 preview panel

A preview panel of Thursday night's round 14 game of the AFL.

Preview of Thursday night's AFL Round 14 match (all times AEDT):

Crows v Hawks at Adelaide Oval 7.50pm

Head to Head: Crows 19 Hawthorn 20

Last clash: Round 2, 2017 - Crows 16.17 (113) bt Hawks 13.11 (89) at MCG

Tab Sportsbet odds: Crows $1.10 Hawks $7.00

William Hill: Crows $1.90 Hawks $7.50

The ladder-leading Crows are back after their bye, with nine wins in the bank and a brilliant launching pad for the business end of the year. If Adelaide are expecting a top-four finish, these are the games they must win. Hawthorn are reeling in 17th spot with only four wins, and while Grant Birchall's return is steadying, the defence will be under the pump from the Crows, the league's highest-scoring team.

Key: Who gets Eddie? Hawthorn usually put Ben Stratton on Adelaide dynamo Eddie Betts, usually with successful results. But with Stratton injured, just who can control the key Crow?

Tip: Adelaide by 44 points
